How can one say when one sees all this, That there is no God, no eternal bliss, , when before our own eyes, we have limitless proof Of the presence of Him, and existence of truth. And thus, having written the thoughts of my breast My soul is in peace and my heart at rest . '

WHERE LIES THE ANSWER Everywhere we look we see it A blow to our democratic pride. The war torn scene of hatred, For which our forefathers died. The human liberty, gnarled and torn Subject to filtration and strife Where, shall we find our peace O Lord, In this corrupt atheistic life? How much longer will this greed Continue to ruin our hopes of freedom Is it simply too much to hope, Lies it only in a higher kingdom?
